"Little" Archie Clement was only five foot tall, but in the annals of the American Civil War in Missouri, he would be feared as one of the most ruthless killers. As Bloody Bill Anderson's right hand man, the pair would be called "devil incarnate" by the St. Joseph Herald, and diabolical by the Liberty Journal. Thousands of Union soldiers that could have battled the Confederate forces in the east were forced to search northern Missouri for the feared Bushwhackers.The reputation earned by "Little" Archie Clement made bigger men tremble at his name. A life long history buff, I grew up in small town Minnesota playing "Cowboys and Indians" with my friends. The adventure of the sheriff capturing the bad guys was always the central theme. The more I studied history the more I realized the line between good guys and bad are not clearly drawn. A devoted family man, I was encouraged by my wife and three daughters to turn my passion for writing into a reality. The more I wrote the more enjoyment I received from the endeavor. My first four offerings have been well received giving me impetus to continue. Now living in Missouri, I find the history of the Civil War to be very real to many of the states inhabitants who have not forgotten the atrocities perpetrated by both sides.
